A method includes detecting an initial vocalization by a user in an environment including a primary device and a secondary device, analyzing the initial vocalization to determine whether a future vocalization is likely to contain sensitive information based on the initial vocalization where the future vocalization is a potential future vocalization, and controlling, based on determining that the future vocalization is likely to contain sensitive information, a speaker of the primary device to output a noise canceling signal configured to prevent the secondary device from detecting the future vocalization.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the initial vocalization is directed to the secondary device.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein analyzing the initial vocalization comprises determining a content of the initial vocalization.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein determining the content of the initial vocalization comprises performing natural language processing of the initial vocalization.
5. The method of claim 3, wherein the content of the initial vocalization is indicative of a likelihood of the future vocalization containing sensitive information.
6. The method of claim 5, wherein the likelihood of the future vocalization containing sensitive information indicates that the future vocalization will contain sensitive information.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the initial vocalization is at least one of a phrase including two or more words or a portion of a password.
10. The system of claim 9, wherein the initial vocalization is directed to the secondary device.
11. The system of claim 9, wherein analyzing the initial vocalization comprises determining a content of the initial vocalization.
12. The system of claim 11, wherein determining the content of the initial vocalization comprises performing natural language processing of the initial vocalization.
13. The system of claim 11, wherein the content of the initial vocalization is indicative of a likelihood of the future vocalization containing sensitive information.
14. The system of claim 13, wherein the likelihood of the future vocalization containing sensitive information indicates that the future vocalization will contain sensitive information.
15. The system of claim 9, wherein the initial vocalization is at least one of a phrase including two or more words or a portion of a password.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to provide a notification based on determining that the future vocalization is likely to contain sensitive information.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18, wherein the notification provides an indication to inform the user that the user was disclosing sensitive information.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17, wherein the initial vocalization is at least one of a phrase including two or more words or a portion of a password.
